[OPEN] 'Ask About Day' named as 'Check in on' (no GRO)

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.96.365.1030 (64 Bit)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to Work, Get Together, City Living, Cats and Dogs, Seasons, Get Famous, Island Living, Discover University, Eco Lifestyle, Snowy Exchange, Cottage Living, Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, Dine Out, Vampires, Parenthood, Jungle Adventure, StrangerVille, Realm of Magic, Journey to Batuu, Werewolves, Luxury Party, Perfect Patio, Cool Kitchen, Spooky Stuff, Movie Hangout, Romantic Garden, Kids Room, Backyard, Vintage Glamour, Bowling Night, Fitness, Toddler, Laundry Day, My First Pet, Moschino, Tiny Living, Nifty Knitting, Paranormal, Holiday
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the game and develop a friendship or romance with another Sim.
What happens when the bug occurs? The Want says to "Ask About Day" under the Friendly menu but is now fulfilled using the "Check In On" interaction from the Friendly/Small Talk menu.
What do you expect to see? I expect the Want to be renamed to Check In On (Sim) and the explanation for completing it to reference the Check In On interaction with instructions on how to find it.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Update 1.96.365.1030

‌

It appears that the recent changes to the social menus changed the name of the interaction from "Ask About Day" to "Check In On." Therefore, all references to Ask About Day should be updated to Check In On.

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title

    I poked at the game files in Sims 4 Studio, and it looks like, when something is being tested that does not exist (a relationship bit introduced in Growing Together, the "Discuss Fear of Horses" whim in Horse Ranch), the test always returns true instead of false. That's what is causing these weird incorrect text strings, along with another one (which I filed separately) regarding "Discuss Fear of Horses" in a game with no Horse Ranch.

    @HeroicJay That would also explain why you can only “polish to perfection” even on chess tables if you don’t have bust the dust. I bet they could fix a lot of small bugs by simply changing that default to false! But I wonder if in some situations it needs to be true…hmm…

    @PipMenace Yeah, I dunno if that would break something. I don't have the inner game files on hand - these are just the data files I was looking at. I'm sure there are a handful of interactions like that that people just got used to, or that I never would notice because I actually do have the pack that has the attribute in question.

    Can confirm, I am also experiencing this. Looks like it's a repeat of a previous bug - when Snowy Escape released Deep Conversation was renamed to something pack specific but only for people who didn't own SE.

    They eventually fixed it so hopefully this will get fixed too.

    @Sketch793 In movie studio there is task to complete too named "Ask about day" though it's redone already to check in on
    I had no idea how to complete this task because I cannot find this interaction anywhere now I see the reason

    I don't see "Check Up On" either. Not sure if it's related to one of my mods but it's not a big enough issue to go through everything to check
